During the course of the four-hour program, Keith displays the chops that have allowed him to take on these high-profile yet diverse playing situations — and top the pop, fusion, all-around and studio categories of the major drum magazines’ readers polls — while sharing the knowledge that will allow viewers to become better drummers and more complete musicians themselves.

\'The Big Picture\' was filmed in front of a live studio/master class audience that elicited insightful, in-depth answers to questions on topics such as hand, foot and finger technique; grooving, fills and soloing; and phrasing, interpretation and improvisation.

Additional Q&A segments cover the rich musical background and variety of influences that were instrumental in the development of Keith’s fluid, versatile, multi-dimensional drumming style. The project’s performance highlights include an open drum solo and playing to pre-recorded Oz Noy and Rudder tracks as well as an unprecedented four-song set and clinic with Wayne Krantz (guitar) and Tim Lefebvre (bass).

Available in dvd and instant download formats, the content also includes a viewable/printable, 29-page, eBook with transcriptions of many drum patterns and exercises plus an exclusive, easy to use, on-screen video-pdf submenu for educational purposes. With its wide range of subject matter and comprehensive coverage, \'The Big Picture\' provides a thorough view of Keith Carlock’s advanced approach to modern drumming as well as an overview of the fundamental skills that every drummer needs to play a full range of modern music.
